Title	The Ghost of Crim Con or a Check to Speculation
Date	8 Mar 1808
Description	On the left stands a young fashionably dressed woman with her husband and lover. Her husband, who is kneeling down, has horns, to indicate that he has been cuckolded, and in his pocket a document marked 'Damages 50.000'. On the right of the woman stands her young lover. They are all looking at a grotesque satyr-like creature, his head covered in horns, which has appeared on the right. The creature addresses the three: "Don't be alarmed my Good Friends I come to give you advice - have nothing to do with me - formerly indeed I was worth the pursuit, but lately I have dwindled to a mere shadow! besides I am lowerd [sic] in my consequence - I have descended from the Drawing Room to the Coach box, and from the coach box to the kitchen, and a coach man in these times has his fine feelings equal to a Marquis, - but no cash that's all Dicky."
